File Storage (CephFS) ​

File Storage provides a scalable, shared file system that can be accessed concurrently by multiple I/O Cloud Compute instances or clients. It is based on CephFS.

Features ​

  • Shared Access: Multiple instances can read and write to the file system simultaneously.
  • Standard Protocols: Accessible via standard protocols like NFS and SMB, as well as the native CephFS client.
  • Elastic: Automatically expands as you add more data.
  • High Availability: Data is replicated across the storage cluster to ensure durability and availability.

Usage ​

  • Compute Instances: Mount the file system on your VMs to share data between application servers, content repositories, or development environments. The share endpoint lives on I/O Cloud's internal services network — see Create and Mount an NFS Share for the self-service setup, which is the same internal-services router used to reach other platform services like DNS.
